Bengals vs. Cardinals Line Movement
Open-ML | Live-ML | Open-Spread | Live-Spread | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bengals | -430 | -163 | -9.5 | -3 |
Cardinals | +340 | +134 | +9.5 | +3 |
4* Free Week 5 NFL Betting Prediction: Arizona +3
Despite being favored by 3 vs. the Cardinals, I don’t like how the Bengals struggled to move the ball in their last game with only 14 first-downs.
This line has taken a dip, mirroring the declining fortunes of the Bengals, dropping from an initial spread of Cincy -8 to -3.
Our recommendation is to take the Cardinals +3. I’ll out on a limb and say the wrong team is favored in this one.
Thus, a Cardinals’ moneyline bet at +145 is certainly worthy of a look see.
Cincinnati are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against Arizona, and on the other side the Cards are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.
With the over/under line set at 44.5, I’m going with the under. So far this season, games involving Cincinnati have averaged 35.8 points per game, and I expect this game to stay below 44.5.
